microcap share scam.

they get people to invest in shares, that makes them rise horrendously.. the scammers dump their amount at the new high value en masse, and everyone elses are worthless

lay-z-boy · 18 Feb 2007 at 16:28

Seems to be total crap, make use of the spam filter.

yhack · 18 Feb 2007 at 16:28

shouldnt they improve the presentation of the email if they want people to believe in it?

Zefan · 18 Feb 2007 at 16:40

If they were that clever they'd just go and get a job, not scam.

it must work i suppose or they wouldnt do it. because getting rich quick is going to come at you from a random email ?? stupid tax imo

I've had about 5 a day for at least 6 months.
They all have unique names and Subject lines so trying to stop them is a bit hard.
Just delete and don't worry.

nearly all strange emails with gifs attached are just spam. the .gif may not take up much space, but it still makes the email much bigger then a text only email. 1 email with a gif may not take up much space or use much bandwidth to send, but when you work out the millions of spam emails daily/weekly then all that space/bandiwdth all adds up. thats all the strange gif attachments are for, to make the spam use more bandwidth and space, thus be more of a problem (may not for the reciever, but for the companys who store emails and the internet itself for having to transmit so much spam it can be a problem).

Yep crystaline hit the nail on the head.

I checked a company once with some financial analysis tools I have available to me, the company is normally absolutely worthless.
